If you’ve visited the East Avenue Wegmans lately, you may have noticed the “Pardon our dust” signs and workers on ladders.

That's because the store is adding a made-to-order salad station to its Market Café.

“We currently have this at Pittsford,” Jo Natale, the supermarket chain’s vice president of media relations, said in an email. That salad station opened last November. The one at the East Avenue store is expected to open in September.

Wegmans also has made-to-order salad stations in a few stores outside Rochester, she said: Ithaca; Chantilly, Virginia; and Natick, Massachusetts. (That last location opened in late April and is the chain's most distinctive store because it is part of a mall and features two levels of shopping.) The Wegmans in Columbia, Maryland, also is getting a salad station soon, Natale said.

The base price of a salad (two greens or a green and a grain, plus up to five toppings and dressing) will be $8; adding a protein (chicken, steak or garlic/herb shrimp) is $3; adding tofu or avocado is $1.

There also will be a menu of salads to choose from, including Harvest (organic field greens with dried apricot, apple wedges, craisins, toasted walnuts, buttermilk bleu cheese and organic tarragon vinaigrette) and Asian Sesame (romaine lettuce, cashews, matchstick carrots, red bell peppers, edamame, wonton strips, roasted sesame seeds, cilantro and Asian peanut dressing). The base price of those salads also will be $8 and add-ons $3 and $1.

Installation of the salad station at the East Avenue store is the second recent noticeable change there. In June, seven of 21 conventional check-out lanes were removed to make room for 12 self-checkout stations. At that time, Natale said it was because people who shop at the East Avenue Wegmans tend to buy fewer items per trip than customers who shop at other Wegmans locations.
